Rivermead
Rivermead runs three care types out of Peterborough, NH, memory care, independent living, and assisted living. Independent living gives a private home plus what the community runs, and no daily care. Assisted living brings in help with medication, bathing, dressing, and the other tasks of a day.
Under memory care, the setting is secured, and staff supervises inside it. Because all three are at one address, a resident whose needs deepen takes the next level where they already are.
The license here runs to 92 beds, and Meghan M Cook is the administrator. Walking paths, riverfront views, a swimming pool, and cultural events are the listed amenities. An event a resident can reach without leaving the grounds is one they will actually get to.
